The registration fee is $125 per child with discounts for multiple children.  We offer these camps to give kids the opportunity to learn from hands on experiences.  Our camper to adult ratio is 6 campers to one adult leader and one helper.  This allows us to offer meaningful learning experiences so the kids come away with skills they can use the rest of their lives.

All of our camps take place entirely outdoors. Part of our mission is getting kids outdoors.  We have sun shelters and built in cool down activities for hot days and plans for rain. 

Each camp includes time to explore the nature trail and sample some of the special things the gardens have to offer i.e. picking and eating blackberries and raspberries and lots of flowers for bouquets.

Parents (and grandparents) are welcome to accompany their children at no extra charge.  If you want to learn how to garden for example, come with your child and learn together. 


For working parents: pre and aftercare being offer on site through the Knowledge Learning Corporation that provides pre and after care for Loveland schools. For details on fees e-mail the site director Keri Coburn.  This is being offered as a service and you will be making arrangements directly with them.

Another service we are offering is the option to have a camp memory book made for your child by Creative Memories consultant Leslie Jung.  We take lots of photos at each of our camps and make them available free of charge on our website.  If you would like to get a memory book you will deal directly with Leslie.  Granny's Garden School does not receive a portion of the sales.  This is provided as a service. 

Guidelines and policies

  • Youngest campers must be entering the first grade in the fall, 2008.  Children entering kindergarten will be considered if a parent is willing to accompany the child. There is no upper age limit. 
  • Please make sure your child has a hardy breakfast before coming to camp.  Please do not send food of any kind. The cooking camp includes preparing a brunch each day.  We will provide healthy snacks at the other camps.  Whichever camp they attend, chances are your child will come home hungry after being active outdoors all morning. 
  • Please send your child to camp with a bag containing a refillable water bottle, the sunscreen you prefer (Children will not be allowed to participate without sunscreen.) and a towel.  Please make sure your child's name is on all of the items including the bag.
  • Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for working outdoors.  We know that kids have shoe preferences but for our camps, gyms shoes are the best choice. Absolutely no sandals, slip on or open toed shoes, please.
  • Please have campers checked in by 8:45 a.m. and be there to pick them up no later than 12:30 p.m. Children must be signed in and out, not just dropped off. 
  • Registration is limited to a maximum of 24 campers per session. A waiting list will be maintained for all sessions once they are full.
  • Cancellation policy - We accept your paid reservations in good faith and reserve a spot for your child.  If you notify us that you must cancel up to two weeks before camp is due to start, you will receive a full refund. Please do not wait until the last minute.  If you cancel less than two weeks before a camp is due to start, we will issue a credit to be used on a future camp but will not issue a refund.  Refunds will be made if a session is canceled due to insufficient registration or exceptional weather conditions.
